”There Must be a Better World Somewhere.”

[Jazzer]

For all of us that suffer, the words of this blues by B.B. King are so appealing.
"There Must be a Better World Somewhere."

I don't have religion, I don't have a faith, but that does not prevent me from wishing for a better world, a better deal for every one of us.

BB King, a true legend, Dave.

I don't have religion, I don't have a faith, but that does not prevent me from wishing for a better world, a better deal for every one of us.

I wish this for all of us, too.

Here are the lyrics to the song, they are wonderful.

"There Must Be A Better World Somewhere"

Sometimes I wonder
Just what am I fighting for?
I win some battles
But I always lose the war
I keep right on stumblin'
In this no-man's land out here

But I know
Mmmmm yes, I know
There must be a better world somewhere

Flying high
Some joker clips my wings
Just because he gets a kick
Out of doing those kind of things
I keep on fallin' in space
Or just hangin' in mid-air

But I know
Ohh yes, I know
There has just got to be a better world somewhere

Every woman I want
Only wants herself
Everybody I love
Seems to love somebody else
And every woman
Got a license to break my heart
And every love, oh it's over
Over before it gets a chance to start

If it ain't dead
Maybe in the here after
Instead of tears
I'll learn all about laughter
But meanwhile I'm stuck out here

It just ain't fair, but I know
I said I know
Oh yes, I know
There must be a better world somewhere
There's just gotta be
Gotta be a better world somewhere

@emmalee - yes beautiful words indeed.
Everybody on this site deserves far better than they have been given.
Nobody deserves this condition. Nobody.
My heart goes out to everybody - including myself.
I am interested in how you arrived at these words Ema - my guess is that you may have transcribed them.
However - it is an act of love.

Dave, I did a google search for the lyrics. I am a BB King fan and this is one song that I hadn't heard before. I thought it would be nice to post them because they are so meaningful.

If there's a better world somewhere, B.B. King will be there singing the blues.
